Which of the following is a symptom of sinusitis?

Sinusitis inflames and blocks the sinus passages, causing mucus to stagnate and bacteria to multiply. The infected mucus often has a foul odor, and drainage down the back of the throat can lead to bad breath. This makes halitosis a common symptom of sinusitis. While some people may have a runny nose or fever, those symptoms can occur with many upper respiratory issues and aren’t specific to sinusitis. Blurred vision or joint pain aren’t typical signs of sinus infection, unless there are rare complications.
